These.
Perget (GCE), Sorensen (SAX), Sy.Chavanel, Seeldrayers (QST), Fofonov (AST), T.Martin, Montfort (THR), Tondo (CTT), Van den Broeck (OLO), Casar, Cherel (FDJ), Leipheimer, Machado (RSH), Champion (ALM), Sicard (EUS), Cunego (LAM), Kolobnev, Vorganov (KAT), Gautier (BTL), Cummings (SKY), Moinard (COF) et Geschke (SKS)
Sure. Until Chavanel escapes from the escapees and solos away for the stage!
It's fun to beat Cancellara--Edvald Boasson Hagen
Such wishful thinking...I was thinking more of a 3rd Sagan stage win but thats just me

See, you're wrong again..
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
No, it's me too :)
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Sagan could be my one great hope..

Like to see Chavanel get the time h needs,
But I’ve gone to pieces: I’m seeing Valverde overhauling them all.
and me
and even better with one more from tommeke
"Racing bikes is for the kids, the rest of us just want to feel like kids on our bikes" - Flying Dog
probably no tommeke today since it is a big hillier in Tirreno today
but you can hope =]

Evans says today's the big boys come out to play
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
Liqui are looking great, but he thinks Gerdemann has a shot at the overall.
"How strange it was to see men doing something beautiful. Something pointless and elegant." Tim Winton, 'Breath'
you are right
if gets in milano-sanremo in good form I thnk it would be good enough
"Racing bikes is for the kids, the rest of us just want to feel like kids on our bikes" - Flying Dog
Aaghh! Valverde!
The big Spaniards are going to catch them on the climb, and Valverde will take the sprint, won’t he? It’s just inevitable.
it's not an mtf, ya know
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind
It is a bit of a rise...It isn't like it is a cat 1 climb
Just a slow drag up to the finish. Isn’t like Sagan can’t climb. 100m in 4k isn’t very steep.
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 13, 2010 9:40 AM EST up reply actions
well, it does ramp a bit at the end
"Wizard's first rule. People are stupid. They will believe anything they want to be true or fear to be true." -- Terry Goodkind

Gap 1:53'. 58k to go.
It really is an up-and-down course today, isn’t it? GCE on the front.
Nice to see Jens! glued to The Accountant’s wheel all day, love it.
just had a good look at the map, no this is not the finish
the loop has it own separate uphill finish apart from this climb
I was wondering that because it looked like they were climbing the same bit that they would be at the finish
but I guess not

Tee hee...
I’ve got PN up, looking for english audio. Might try putting both video up but my eyes my explode with over stimulation. Going from no live threads to two in one is a shocker.

Is Garmin Christian Meir? not sure else who would have red shoes

I did that once, crashed into a cemetary stone wall in a Northern France race, ended my season.

Always seem to melt into the tarmac and then POP up

I know that CdE have their own interests
but their pull will only help Contador who is confortably in 6th wheel

No
The thing for CdE is to get Valverde to finish first. They can drag Contador but if Valverde wins, that’s 10 seconds and if he gaps Bert by a second or two then it’s game fully on for tomorrow.
big "if"... but, true

Dang...somebody is going to be prepared for the Muur
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 13, 2010 10:20 AM EST up reply actions
Hmmm, no.
I managed to get up the steepest climb in the area by the skin of my teeth and that’s only a mini Muur :-/
Oh I am sure you will be able to tackle the Muur...and if your struggling you might get a nice Belgian push
by Vlaanderen90 on Mar 13, 2010 10:24 AM EST up reply actions
yes but oushing etiquette can vary
my wife will tolerate a push when climbing if it’s the back or the saddle ….. but occasionally the bum push can be a little gratuitous ;(
Moo

long rides han

"Racing bikes is for the kids, the rest of us just want to feel like kids on our bikes" - Flying Dog
if your legs feel badly
after video watching is finished, lay down with your legs up against a wall and gently shake and massage them, feels great and helps recover.
I too had a sore back while cycling long rides
sorry to be the coach with the whip, but a strong stomach will help your back actually.
Ok tell us after you have done 50 situps right ?
I am reasonably flexible. Used to do ballet.
Just not so used to being in that position for so long!
you're doing awesome !
we all support you and cheer you, and offer you a few tips to assist – gentle stretching(more flexibility will help for sure), do some stomach strengthening, do more long rides, stay warm (the bath part), etc
enjoy it all !
getting in and out of the bath counts for two situps,
only 48 more to go.
(or hey ! How about 24 more baths ???)
nevermind its machado

A garmin rider did ride off whilst camera was on Cioni
Watched it twice but couldn’t ID though – but looked like he was just getting going again so hopefully was CVV
Thank you.

off the back of the peleton. The KOM jersey has seemed to be more of an honorary title in this race rather than a statement of ability.
Moinard can climb well but he was sprinting after all of the points today.

he did well to push today
but your right, when they just try and grab the points and run and cant stick it out it does seem a bit wishy washy

one of these days i'll make it over there,
other than just passing by or through. My girlfriend says they used to have these fantastic storytelling festivals there – festival des contes – they’d go on all night – all kinds of different people from all over – incredible ambience in the old vilages at night with the lighting and all. I guess now they’ve moved it elsewhere – or maybe it moves from village to village now.
